This morning's LOWERS session & "NIKE US OPEN" report
This may come as a surprise, but Nishii is in CALIFORNIA. This was T-Street this morning. Beautiful waves were breaking slowly. When you get to LOWERS, As expected, this seems to be the largest size. There were a lot of good people riding MAYHEM boards. I think he was probably a player who participated in the US Open. Owen Wright was also there. The fins were POWER BASE. This girl is a ROCKET. TAJI, of course, is the WHIPLASH-TB model. There doesn't seem to be any sponsor stickers. It's written in magic marker. The Mayhem is my favorite V2-ROCKET model. He seemed to be in good shape. Those who make it and those who ride it. After videotaping the two of them riding, I went to the NIKE US OPEN. There are also many people on the north side of the pier. The south side of the pier, which is the event venue, was also packed with people. It's summer vacation, so there are a lot of students. If you line up, you can get various goods or win prizes. Is he Brett Simpson's dad? You have a MAYHEM board. F1-STUB + Julian Wilson Carissa Moore Cocoho Both of them have nails? Manicure? It's very girly. Let's hope Julian Wilson does his best tomorrow. Tomorrow is the No. 10 round with three heats. Once the surf contest is over, the Music Opener concert will begin! The beach was buzzing with people and loud noises. Well, I'll report back tomorrow.

Nishii recommends these two Precebo summer small wave models! Presto "FISHQUEST 2" model It has plenty of buoyancy and can be ridden short, so it quickly goes up and down in small waves and gains speed. The perfectly rounded outline makes it easy to turn, and in a word, it's a board that can move around and get speed. The long VEE bottom at the tail of the bottom allows the thick board to move with ease, making it a special magic bottom design for small waves that Mayhem is good at. The combination with the concave is so beautiful that it's hard to put into words.

If you make a reservation now, you will receive it at the end of August, so if the 5'6" size is perfect for you, please feel free to make a reservation. If you would like to make a reservation, please call 03-3732-5532. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact/contact.php Or you can apply using this inquiry form to make the process smoother. The other one is, Presebo "RNF-EVOLUTION" model The board is long so it starts off as quickly as a longboard. The rounded nose and wide center make it easy to take off without the paddle shaking. The thin rails allow for smooth, responsive turns in small waves, rather than the insensitive feel of a funboard.

It's a well-designed board that can handle waves of a certain size, so it would be a shame to use it only for small waves. Dane Reynolds, who grew up watching the VHS version of LOST, The other day, when I came to pick up the RNF model I ordered from LOST, The Mayhem RNF model is such a great model that I've even said that if I could only have one board in the world, it would be the RNF. Indeed, DANE has recently designed models influenced by RNF and ORCA. It's currently in stock and can be purchased from our online store! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/item_search/rootCategoryId,126/childCategoryId,127/

Nishii recommends these two LOST board models for small waves in midsummer! Lost "FISHQUEST 2" model The rounded nose provides stability when paddling and moves forward smoothly without any wobble. The rounded, thick rails on both side rails of the bottom allow the board to lean easily as if riding a thin board, and the stepped elevator wings assist in turns. The long VEE bottom design that extends from the tail end to the front fin is a very well-designed combination, and even though it's large, it moves well, so we recommend riding it with a larger board so that it feels like it has more buoyancy. For example, even someone weighing around 50 kg can control a 5'10" size. We recommend riding a larger board, so to make dolphin-throughs easier, the dolphin grab makes it easier to grip the rails and dive the board deep under the water. It may be difficult to convey how easy it is unless you actually do it, but it really is easy to dolphin-through. Thinner sizes are also available, and we recommend the thinner size for those looking for more action, but we recommend the thicker size for those who are not confident in paddling. Click here for the special page for "FISHQUEST 2"! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/camp/fishquest2.html Click here for the list of stock boards that you can ride immediately in "FISHQUEST 2"! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/board/lost_stock.html#fishquest2 The other one is, Lost "ORCA" model This board really takes off as quickly as a long board. It's perfect for the small waves of the super crowded summer season, where it really shines in crowded waters. Recently, when the water got crowded on the ORCA, I was paddling to a peak a little further away, and I ended up sliding off into a wave I hadn't intended to ride, which surprised me. The bottom is dome-shaped, the opposite of a concave, and although it is the widest of LOST's models, it moves smoothly and easily, making it a board that makes small waves fun. Some people who purchased the 5'10" find that it moves well, so they then purchase the next size up, 5'11", and because it moves well even though it is larger, they are able to further improve their take-off and paddling performance and enjoy surfing. This is a Japan-only model that we highly recommend to those who often go surfing in places like Shonan, Kokufu Beach, and Isonoura. This board will remind you that surfing can be fun even in small waves.

This board is a theoretically designed board from MAYHEM, which is said to be the best in the world when it comes to shaping edgy fish.

Today we shot the 2013 Winter catalogue for ANCHOR WETSUITS at a studio in Yokohama. In the scorching heat, I was sweating profusely after photographing about 10 semi-dry suits. The photographer is Kenyu, so as you'd expect, the lighting setup is professional. The neckline has been updated with the latest designs, including high neck, barrier, and flap. It takes a considerable amount of time to photograph each piece in detail. The 2013 lineup consists of three models: "HAGOLOMO," "GETTO," and "ATOMIC." The neck-in type "ATOMIC" model has been improved for easier attachment and detachment, making it Nishii's top recommended model. The new purple fabric is soft, lightweight, and comfortable to the touch. The sleeves also feature a new soft hollow fiber material. The female model for the RINCON wetsuit, who was photographed at the same time, is Minami, a former fine model and well-known model. This blue thermal fabric is made from corn fiber, a new, environmentally friendly material that will return to the soil. We will also be introducing surf jackets made from WET fabric. The luxurious texture, which is made by repeatedly applying thin layers of WET Bond to 1mm jersey, looks cool, Extremely waterproof! Keeps out cold wind and rain. There is also a shorter hoodie version, which will be released by ANCHOR, so look forward to it! This product supports custom mark orders, allowing you to place the mark wherever you like.

The wave information showed a high score of △55, and the waves were in good condition all day. When the waves are good, you can ride them for a long time, spend more time on the board, and perform more actions, allowing you to fully experience the performance of each model. Today was indeed the best day for the test drive. Check out these snapshots of those who participated in the test drive.

The Lost & Placebo test drive event was held at Higashinami Beach in north Chiba. A test drive event sponsored by Murasaki Sports was held in Torami, northeast Chiba. The familiar Placebo is centered around "TABLET", "FISHQUEST2", and "RNF-EVOLUTION", We also had other models available for test drives. The waves were thick, so the RNF-EVOLUTION's quick takeoff and ease of dolphin-through were well received. There were new LOST models, and everyone was excited, saying they wanted to ride more but didn't have enough time or stamina. The waves were big enough like this. This is a shallow beach break that has hosted WCT events in the past, so the waves are always perfect for test rides. Nishii asked the visitors what kind of board they were looking for, I gave him advice on which board to test ride. Today, many people were able to ride it to some extent, and the V2-ROCKET was popular. Mr. Kubo from our main store really liked the "SUB-DRIVER." Kanoa, who was visiting Japan and visiting the CI booth next door, said, "Wow, this is amazing! I want to ride it! Please let me ride it later." A prototype "V2-ROCKET" model with cork on the deck. Morita-san gave high praise to the performance of the "SUB-DRIVER-JP" model, saying, "There is no falsehood in the performance of the model!" Placebo is very popular with all models, anytime, anywhere! Thank you to everyone who participated in the test drive today! It will be held again next month at the same location.
